From Data To Health

Our Mission: To Revolutionize Drug Development and Personalize Care

Our Story

BC Platforms is a global leader in building data networks for the life sciences industry and providing versatile technology platforms for ​research and precision medicine, accelerating the translation of innovations into clinical practice.

We convert complex biological information collected in the healthcare setting into actionable insights. With our innovative technology, we are creating a patient centric infinity loop between the life sciences and healthcare sectors. Data we generate, harmonize, and manage from diverse biobanks and healthcare institutions is made accessible for pharmaceutical and biotech companies to enhance their core strengths in research and development. In parallel, we enable stratification of patients towards targeted therapies, delivering on the promise of more personalized healthcare.​ The invaluable insights from real-world data, combined with our state-of-the-art technology platform, form an infinite loop where research accelerates discovery, discoveries enhance treatment, and treatment optimizes care.

Founded in 1997 from a MIT Whitehead project spinoff, we have a strong scientific heritage underpinned by over 25 years of working in close collaboration with a network of leading researchers, developers, and industry partners. We have global operations with our headquarters in Zurich, Switzerland, R&D in Espoo, Finland, and Singapore, as well as a presence in London, UK, Lund, Sweden, Paris and Toulouse, France and Boston, USA.

Artirat Charukitpipat, Chief Executive Officer | Bumrungrad

We are excited to be collaborating with BC Platforms to securely share our data for the benefit of patients without compromising any privacy issues. We have been impressed by the BCRQUEST.com platform and its ability to analyze, integrate and share data in a secure manner and in line with the European General Data Protection Regulation (GDPR) to support researchers in developing personalized medicines.

Dr. Christian Gülly COO Biobank Graz | Medical University of Graz, Austria

BC Platforms is quite unique in some aspects, because as a supplier it operates very much more as a collaborator. And from a platform perspective, very much of the work we are trying to achieve, both in medical research and utilizing new data science technology, and utilizing new techniques in medicine is very complicated and challenging, and so really having a partner, prepared to listen to us and taking critisism from us, is very enabling for us. So BC Platforms as a vendor is more of a partnership.

Prof. James Batchelor | University of Southampton, UK

The HELIOS study will thus provide a powerful resource for medical research across a wide range of disciplines for both the current and future generations of biomedical researchers. We’re delighted to have selected BC Platforms as a key delivery partner in this important healthcare project.
